Problem summary
**************************************************************** USERS AFFECTED: DataStage Clients **************************************************************** PROBLEM DESCRIPTION: Repeatably opening and closing stage editors will eventually cause the Designer to fail. The failure can occur in many different ways, but it after it has occurred the Designer will exit losing any unsaved work. **************************************************************** RECOMMENDATION: Install the patch, or restart the Designer after 2-3 hours use to avoid the graphic object limit from being reached. ****************************************************************
Problem conclusion
Each time a stage editor was opened and closed, operating system graphics objects were leaked (ie they were allocated but never released). Repeatably opening and closing stage editors would eventually cause the Designer process to reach its limit on the number of these objects it can have allocated at one time. Once this limit had been reach the Designer would fial upon the next attempted allocation.
